@matricked please help

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the full form of `HL theorem` ?

OpenStudy (daisy.xoxo619):

Hypotenuse Leg

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the diagram, you're already given that a Leg pair is congruent (\(BC \cong CD\))

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so you need the `hypotenuse pair` to be congruent for using HL theorem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what are the hypotenuses in both the triangles ?

OpenStudy (daisy.xoxo619):

AC AND CE

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent !

OpenStudy (daisy.xoxo619):

Thanks
